It’s a term Housing Wire columnist Logan Mohtashami coined in 2021, poking a little fun at pundits and housing analysts who predicted a housing crash as a result of the anticipated end of COVID-19 mortgage forbearances. Were they too early or simply alarmists? Time will tell. But as the saying goes, even a broken watch is right twice a day.Â
